I dont mind needed to re sign into accounts and what not but going threw and changing my sound notifacations to diffrent things and setting things to viberate or setting diffrent settings in my apps well thats all a pain in the a$$. I donated for the titanium back up so I have the paid version. I already used it to back up couple of my apps but I havnt used it to try and back everything up yet. Is it possible to use it to back everything up so it saves my settings for all my apps as well. Or better yet when I back up and app does it save the current settings? I mean if I change the setting is say my snes rom and then back it up, will the back up have the new settings or will it have the original settings?

Thanks again, I wont forget to hit that thanks tab either.

Edit: Also what you are saying is that basicly when I want to update to the new rom I need to flash it and not use Rom Manager because if I flash it its the only way to garante no hickups?
I honestly dont know ALL the options available in Titanium backup, I'm still exploring. However for one example if you backup [SMS/MMS PREFS] Messages 1.00
it will save your SMS settings (well, at least Ringtone-that's what I tested it with).
There are a ton of options in there.
When you go to restore your backed up app it will ask if you want to restore the app, the data (if the app is already included in the ROM I 'spose) or App+Data. Again, I cant guarantee it will save every setting for every app but it works really well for me. It did save high scores from a simple bowling game fwiw.

ROM Manager is good. You need to be fully rooted-I think you are. Even if you manually enter bootloader/Recovery Clockworkmod is now the default Recovery.
If you select Install ROM from SD for example it will prompt you to 1)backup your current ROM and 2) wipe data and cache.
I'm thorough though and I used it to Reboot into Recovery so I could factory reset 2X. There is an option to wipe Dalvik cache as well but I'm not positive it did it-it went too quick. My v1.5 installed fine though.
